Get it out of your system

Aww. It's so cute.

Yes. Yes, it is. But don't let that fool you. The Canos EOS Rebel SL1 may be one of the smallest DSLRs you've ever seen, but make no mistake, it's every ounce a Rebel. Canon has managed to pack almost every popular feature from its class-leading line of Rebel cameras into a smaller, but full-featured design. In some cases, it's even exceeded the benchmarks set by its predecessors. The SL1 boasts Canon's second-generation hybrid autofocus, a system that pairs contrast detection and phase detection to draw upon the strengths of both for superior focusing performance. In this camera, the coverage area for the system has been expanded to fill almost 80% of the live view area, making for better overall performance in tricky situations.

Canon also included their ultra-quiet, fast-focusing STM (stepping motor) 18-55mm image-stabilizing zoom lens with this kit for capturing outstanding, blur-free photos and videos under all kinds of shooting conditions.

It's going for speed

Action and sports photographers will appreciate the difference the DIGIC 5 image processor makes. The SL1 fires off continuous 18-megapixel still shots at 4 frames per second. And because the processor enables greater light sensitivity and noise reduction, it's easier to increase your shutter speed so you can freeze the fast moving action at the perfect moment, even when your surroundings get hectic. Plus, the controls are built for speed as well: the SL1's mode select dial presents your options logically and simply. Even the dial's icons are raised a bit to make them easier to discern in low light.

The Canon EOS Rebel SL1 is significantly smaller that the Canon EOS Rebel T5i at right (not included), while offering similar performance.

A nice touch(screen)

The LCD display on the back has some cool tricks as well. It features three diagonal inches of gorgeous, 1,040,000-dot high-resolution screen. Given the overall size of the SL1, this is a notable achievement. And get this: it's touch-enabled, allowing you a lightning-fast method of controlling your camera's settings. In fact, the touchscreen acts in a manner similar to many smartphones, so you'll find the interface easy and intuitive.

Clear as a bell

Video shooters will also appreciate the external stereo microphone input and the settable microphone input levels. Canon realizes that acquiring good audio is the first step towards making your videos truly professional, so the SL1 is loaded with features that will help you do just that.

Geared to your pace

Don't worry that the Canon EOS Rebel SL1, with all its helpful settings, will be complex. Intelligent auto modes, autofocus, and scene detection will ensure great results for beginners; you can explore custom options as you gain confidence with the camera. A plethora of creative options await the curious and the enthusiastic.

Product Highlights:

18-megapixel effective recording

APS-C-size Hybrid CMOS image sensor (22.3 x 14.9 mm) includes a broad area of pixels dedicated to phase-detection autofocus, adding a second method of determining focus

Supplied Accessories:

rechargeable LP-E12 lithium ion battery

LC-E12 battery charger

Develop your photography hobby

You don't have to be an expert photographer to use an SLR  they all offer easy automatic shooting. Because of their build quality and the physics of good glass and large sensors, even their built-in automatic settings will get you better pictures than most point-and-shoots or mobile devices. But experienced photographers and budding hobbyists can get more creative by manually adjusting settings like aperture and shutter speed. SLRs let you expand your shooting options with additional lenses and flashes to suit just about any situation. If you'd like to record the occasional video, look for a model with high-def movie mode.

Features

Overview: The Canon EOS Rebel SL1 is the world's smallest
and lightest digital SLR camera. The SL1 kit includes the camera
body and the EF-S 18-55 IS STM zoom lens. It has a standard Canon EF mount, and is
compatible with Canon EF lenses, including EF-S lenses.

Viewfinder: The Canon EOS Rebel SL1 uses an
eye-level SLR viewfinder with pentamirror with 0.87x magnification (w/50mm lens) for approximately 95%
vertical and horizontal coverage. It has a -3.0 to +1.0 diopter adjustment so you can focus
the viewfinder to suit your eyesight (with or without eyeglasses). When using
the self-timer or remote control, when your eye does not cover the viewfinder
eyepiece, stray light may enter the eyepiece
and affect the exposure when the image is captured. To prevent this, you can use
the supplied eyepiece cover, attached to the neck strap, to cover the eyepiece.

3" Clear View LCD Touch Screen Monitor: The EOS Rebel
SL1 features a 3" Clear View LCD Touch Panel monitor. It has a 3:2 aspect ratio and approximately 1,040,000 pixels for
Live View composition and viewing recorded images. The screen has the same
capacitive technology as today's popular mobile devices, and delivers intuitive
touch panel operation. Two-finger gestures (multi-touch) can be used for zooming
or changing images, menu and quick control settings can be accessed, and focus
point and shutter release can be activated with the touch of a fingertip. The LCD monitor offers 100% viewing coverage and 7 brightness
levels to choose from.

Live View: The Live
View Function enables viewing your subjects directly on the camera's 3" LCD
monitor. The camera allows you to magnify any part of the scene 5x or 10x for
precise manual focusing. You can choose one of two grid overlay options for the LCD
screen to help you line up vertical and horizontal lines. The
camera
can be controlled remotely via a computer through a USB connection, or
wirelessly with the optional
RC-6
remote controller.

18.0 Megapixel CMOS Sensor:
Canon's large-area CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor
captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers
approximately 18.5
million total pixels and 18.0 million
effective pixels. This APS-C-sized sensor (22.3mm x 14.9mm) has the same 3:2 ratio
as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF
Lens focal length.

DIGIC 5 Image Processor:
The Rebel SL1 is equipped with Canon's DIGIC 5 Image Processor.
The DIGIC 5 works with the CMOS sensor to deliver images with great detail
without the need for artificial light sources. The camera can achieve higher ISO
sensitivity, and can shoot up to 4 frames per second continuously.

Image Recording:
The camera records still images in JPEG
and RAW formats. You can choose from the following image
sizes: Large, Medium, Small 1, Small 2, and Small 3. For each resolution
(except Small 2 and Small 3), you can set the compression to Fine or Normal. For
RAW images, you can record only at the highest resolution. You can set the camera to RAW + JPEG and record a RAW image and a Large
Fine JPEG image simultaneously.

Aspect Ratio: The camera image sensor has an aspect ratio of
3:2. You can choose to record still images in 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, and 1:1 aspect
ratios. This gives you the option of selecting any of the following image sizes:

RAW File Format: The
RAW file format records the image data as captured by the camera's CMOS sensor
without further processing and converts it to digital data and records it onto
the card as is. RAW images can be adjusted, then developed and produced into
JPEG or TIFF images using the provided software.

Recording Media: The EOS Rebel SL1 records images on an SD,
SDHC, and SDXC memory cards, including UHS-I (Ultra High Speed)
memory cards. It is also compatible with some brands of Eye-Fi
cards that feature wireless transfer of images, although their performance is
not guaranteed.

Note:
No recording media is supplied with
the camera.

EOS
Integrated Cleaning System:
Dust that settles on the sensor surface of the
camera is removed using ultrasonic vibration. This Self Cleaning Sensor Unit
routine is automatically activated whenever the camera is powered on or off. (It
can also be manually activated.) A special collar positioned around the sensor
collects the loosened dust. In case visible dust still remains, you can delete
the effect of the dust particles from the image via the supplied
software.

Shooting Modes:
The EOS Rebel SL1 offers 12 different shooting modes arranged on the Mode Dial in the following zones:

Creative
Zone:

Program AE:
This is a general-purpose shooting mode, the camera automatically sets
the shutter speed and aperture value to suit the scene's brightness.

Shutter-priority AE: In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the
camera automatically sets the aperture value to suit the brightness of
the subject.

Aperture-priority AE: In this mode, you set the desired aperture
value and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the
subject brightness.

can shoot a movie while focusing a moving subject continuously. The
built-in stepping motor of the supplied 18-55mm IS STM lens greatly
minimizes the focusing noise while recording movies.

Video Snapshots: A video snapshot is a short movie clip
lasting 2, 4, or 8 seconds. You can combine a series of video snapshots into an
album, and save them as a single movie file. The compiled video is perfect for
sharing online or displaying on an HDTV via the HDMI port.

9-Point Auto-Focus System:
The EOS Rebel SL1 features a
high-precision 9-point wide area auto-focus that uses cross-type points with
lenses f/5.6 or faster, enabling the camera to focus faster, more accurately,
and in ever more complex lighting. In addition, the camera incorporates a diagonally mounted,
high-precision cross-type sensor at the center AF point that is sensitive to
both vertical and horizontal lines when fast lenses (f/2.8 or faster) are used,
for added accuracy and precision with these wide-aperture lenses. All focus
points can be chosen automatically or manually.

AF Modes:
The camera employs one of 3 AF systems to let you seize every
photo opportunity with fast, accurate focus:

One-Shot AF: suited for still
subjects, the camera focuses only once.

AI Servo AF: for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps
changing. The subject will be focused continuously while the shutter button
is pressed halfway.

Manual Focusing: If you choose to focus manually, you will
need to set the focus mode switch on the lens from AF to MF, and turn the lens
focusing ring until the subject looks sharp in the viewfinder. You can magnify
the image 5x or 10x for better visibility when focusing.

ISO Speed: The Image Sensor's sensitivity to light, or
the ISO Speed, can be set to suit the ambient light level. In Basic Zone
modes, the ISO speed is set automatically from 100 to 6400. In other modes, you can set the
ISO automatically or manually from 100 to 12800, with expansion to 25600.

the
white balance data for the setting, color temperature:
2000-10000 K

White Balance
Correction: You can
correct the standard color temperature for the white balance setting. It has
the same effect as using a color temperature conversion filter or a color
compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels.

Color Space: The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this camera,
you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal
images, sRGB is recommended. In the Basic Zone modes, sRGB will be set
automatically.

Shoot by Ambience: Except in the Scene Intelligent Auto and
Flash Off Basic Zone modes, you can select the ambience for shooting. You can
choose from Vivid, Soft, Warm, Intense, and Cool, each at Low, Standard, or
Strong effects. You can also choose Brighter or Darker, with Low, Medium, and

Creative Filters: The EOS Rebel SL1 now lets you apply a
filter effect while shooting. While looking at the Live View screen, you can see
how the filter effects the photo. You can save the photos with and without the
Creative filter applied. The types of filters include: Grainy B/W, Soft focus,
Fish-eye Effect, Art bold effect, Water painting effect, Toy camera effect, and
Miniature effect. You can also apply Creative Filters to your stored images, and
save them as new images.

Exposure Compensation: Exposure compensation is used
to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the image look
lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure
compensation amount can be set up to +/-5 stops in 1/3-stop increments, although
the indicator in the viewfinder can only display the setting up to +/-2 stops.

Auto Exposure
Bracketing: With auto exposure
bracketing (AEB), the camera automatically changes the exposure level up to +/-2
stops in 1/3-stop increments for three successive shots. When in Single Shooting
mode, the camera will change the exposure level on three single shots (requiring
three presses of the shutter release). In Continuous Shooting mode, or when
shooting with the self-timer or optional remote controller, you can take
three shots with one press of the shutter release, and the exposure levels will
change with each shot taken.

AE Lock: AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a different place from the point of
focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining
the desired exposure level. This feature is useful for backlit and spotlighted
subjects.

Bulb Exposures: When bulb is set, the shutter is open during the time you keep pressing the
shutter button fully. Bulb is useful when a long exposure is necessary for
capturing night scenes, fireworks, the night sky, etc. The optional
RS-60E3
remote switch is also recommended for bulb exposures. It connects to the
camera's 2.5mm sub-mini remote jack.

Flash: The camera's built-in retractable, auto pop-up flash
with E-TTL II autoflash metering. The flash takes approximately 3 seconds to
recycle for the next flash. The viewfinder has an icon to let you know the flash
is ready. You can set the exposure compensation for the flash to +/- 2 stops in 1/3-stop
or 1/2-stop
increments. The flash range varies with the ISO speed. Other flash functions
include:

AF-Assist: Under
low-light conditions, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes when you
press the shutter button halfway. This is to illuminate the subject to enable
easier auto-focusing. It is effective up to approximately 13.1 feet away.

FE Lock: FE (flash
exposure) lock obtains and locks the correct flash exposure reading for any part
of a subject.

Red-Eye Reduction: Using the
camera's Red-Eye reduction lamp before taking a flash picture will reduce the
common phenomenon of red-eye effect.

External Flash: In addition to the built-in flash, the EOS
Rebel SL1 has a hot shoe for adding optional external flash units. The camera is
compatible with Canon's entire line of EX-series Speedlites,
plus Macro Lites for close-ups. Canon EX-series
Speedlites offer professional-quality illumination for virtually any subject.
The built-in flash can work as a Master unit with Canon Speedlites with the
wireless slave feature and trigger the Speedlite(s) to fire.

GPS-ready: The EOS Rebel SL1 is compatible with the optional
GP-E2 GPS Receiver. The GP-E2 mounts to the camera's hot shoe, and records
location information, such as longitude, latitude, elevation, direction, and
time data for attaching to your photos and videos.

Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes:

Evaluative Metering: The camera's standard metering mode
utilizes 63 zones within the frame, and is suited for most subjects even under
backlit conditions. After detecting the main subject's position, brightness,
background, front and back lighting conditions, etc, the camera sets the proper exposure.

Partial Metering: Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject
due to backlighting, etc; uses approximately 9%
of the frame at the center.

Spot Metering: For metering a specific part
of the subject; uses approximately 3.8%
of the frame at the center.

Center-weighted Average
Metering: Metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for
the entire scene.

Continuous Shooting Mode: In Continuous Shooting mode, you
can shoot up to about 4 frames per second. The maximum number of shots in a
single burst will vary with the image quality setting:

Great little DLSR!

Got this to replace my T3 this SL1 blows the T3 away in everything!! photos look better video is 100 times better the screen looks much clearer I can actually manual focus with the SL1's LCD screen on my T3 it was such low quality it was near impossible!

Pros:light fast video awesome!

Cons:nothing yet but the battery don't last as long as the bigger DSLR's

Great Camera

My wife bought this camera for a cruise to Alaska that we went on. The Camera was real fun to use and took great quality pictures. Its not as big as other DSLR which is nice. This is our first DSLR and we are still learning all the stuff you can do with them. The camera has lots of different settings and photo effects that are more than i would ever need. I usually just set it on auto and let it do its thing. My wife's more into messing with all the settings.

Pros:nice size. Great picture quality. quick even in regular mode. Good price also.

Cons:No flip out screen but we knew that buying it. I haven't found a panoramic mode but there is software out there to stitch pictures together.

My Tiny DSLR

I am newbie to DSLR and always wanted to smaller camera. I bought the new Canon SLR1 as soon as it came into the market. It is compact using the 40mm lens. This camera has all the same features as the larger t4i or t5i but just smaller size. It does not have the flip LCD but that is ok. I like the touch screen and navigating through the menus are quick. The weight is a plus compare to the full size dslr. I don't mind carry this camera around on trips. It is still too bulky to carry this camera in the pants pocket, but it is perfect in my wife's handbag. hehehe Coming from a point and shoot camera, the battery life is awesome and it takes much better quality pictures with ease. I no longer have to worry about leaving the power on and be mindful of the battery running out. All I have to do is press and shoot. I would recommend the SL1 to any beginners. The price is a bit more expensive but you get what you pay for. It can't go wrong to own the latest Canon DSLR and being the smallest DSLR.
